Windows 98 Updates noe IE crashes
Jeff,
If you look in the Win98.internet.windows_update newsgroup you will see info on 896688. This latest update is apparently causing lots of problems for Win 98 users. The best answer so far is don't load it but that will not help you! From what I have seen from the actual Security Bulletin MS05-052, the update modifies a whole load of dll files so that they modify the "Kill Bit" in CLSIDs. The bulletin says that they have done this COM object mod on a whole load of files over and above what they did in MS05-038 as these additional files display similar tendencies to those in MS05-038.(896727) All to do with IE and Active X. I would suggest try and remove 896688. If you don't have any luck with that you could possibly check the file list in MS05-052 and using the Version Conflict Manager change all the files back to the previous version. Once you have done that you may wish to check all the individual entries in the Registry to ensure the relevant "Kill Bits" have been reset. I don't use the auto update Microsoft Updates. I periodically check the update centre, let it do a scan a then note what it wants to do. I then go away and read all the update info at leisure, let the dust settle and update individually at a later date. I am running MS05-038 no problems and looking at the chaos from MS05-052 I wont be loading that. However what worries me more is that all these updates are cumulative and unless Microsoft actually states they have overcome the problem with MS05-052 with Win 98/98SE, we will not be able to load any further IE updates.

Windows 98 Updates noe IE crashes
Jeff,
Further to my previous post, I have been reading through the Security Bulletins to try to understand more of what is happening. The first thing I must say is don't delete or reinstall any files without first comparing file lists from both Bulletins. I haven't quite worked out what 52 is doing over 38 in terms of files, but I did spot that a couple had the same revision criteria - hence this further note! Alan "Alan" wrote in message ...

Windows 98 Updates noe IE crashes
More information.
The following is from the Win 98.internet.windows_update newsgroup. In particular from the post "Only Administrators" and added to by Marcus on the 20/11/05. I wouldn't go as far back as Heidi is suggesting. MSHTML.DLL in MS05-038 is version 6.0.2800.1516 dated July 05. I am running this in 98SE with no problems. Alan I am using 6.00.2800.1106 and there is still a problem with accessing the WU site....along with problems using Flash Player, and embedded media. The only solution so far is deleting KB896688 from the add/remove programs. marcus "Heidi" wrote in message ... There is a definite problem with Critical Update Q896688 and W98, and it lies with the new version of MSHTML.DLL (6.00.2800.1522). Restore the old version 6.00.2800.1106 and everything will work fine again. -- Heidi "Alan" wrote in message ...
